I like the DVD with the alternate ending where he gets depressed and eats the barrel of the Red Rider.

I really like that movie, and I've seen it every single year since I was young, without fail.

It's a Wonderful Life beats it out though, for Christmas Classics.


Actually, scratch that, the Grinch Who Stole Christmas is the best of the bunch.

edit: I'm wearing Grinch PJ's right now too! I just had a girlie over [asian] right now and she was not impressed by my grinch pj's, moccassins, and ohio state sweatshirt. haha

I like A Wonderful Life.

Fuck a A Christmas Story. If I wanted to watch little WASPs growing up, I'd turn on the discovery channel.

I actually can't stand It's a Wonderful Life.

Maybe it's that I've seen it about 10^12 times growing up, maybe it's that it's a little too heavy-handed for my taste, maybe it's just too sickeningly sweet even for my mooshy tastes, but whatever it is, I can't even sit through it any more.

I've really only see A Wonderful Life a few times.

But my dad watches A Christmas Story a dozen times every fucking year.

I like it, we watched it every Christmas.

"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" is the best Christmas movie though. We watched it too.

We used to watch Scrooged, but for some reason that move doesn't have much staying power, not like the first two.

The only good thing about "It's a Wonderful Life" is the unintentionally comedic semi-racist tone toward his maid, and the Saturday Night Live "alternate" ending.

Like stef, I've also never seen It's a Wonderful Life.

Additionally, not only have I also not seen A Christmas Story, I've never even heard of it before now. (For a moment I thought ZT was talking about A Christmas Carol.)

You should Netflix or download it and check it out (worth one quick viewing if nothing else).

I'm fairly certain I don't like any Christmas movies at all.

I'm fairly certain that doesn't come as a surprise to anyone.

I loved A Christmas Story, plus I'm in love with Jimmy Stewart so of course I dug It's A Wonderful Life as well. I think my favorite Christmas movie is probably The Ref.

Here's a sweet Christmas story:

Police Say Man Stabbed Over Christmas Gift - Wife Faces Assault, Domestic Battery Charges

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. -- A Wyoming woman faces multiple charges for allegedly stabbing her husband with a kitchen knife following an argument that began when she accused him of opening a Christmas present early.

Opening a Christmas present early does something like a cop move.

This current viewing marks the fifth time -- since I've been home -- that my father has watched A Christmas Story.

It's like this every fucking year.

Well that's just terrible.

I'm afraid you have no choice but to put him out of his misery.

It's like when your best friend becomes a zombie - even though it's difficult and unpleasant, you're really helping him out.

It's no fun being drunk if you're just going to sleep it off. You should talk on the phone with your mom like I did when I was drunk. Or sing kareoke.
